PLACEMENT AND REMOVAL OF SNOW

Putting snow or any other type of debris on the road is prohibited. Placing snow on the road results in slushy, icy conditions. It is a hazard to all the traveling public. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE SNOW OR ICE IN THE ROADWAY.

GARBAGE PAIL PLACEMENT DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER

Please be advised that all garbage pails should be placed BEHIND THE CURB. There should be nothing placed in the roadway that would impede or delay the removal of snow and or ice from the road. The garbage truck arm has the capability to reach past the curb in order to pick up your cans.

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated and it will enable the Highway Department to maintain a high quality of service and safety for the public and department employees.
